Service Delivery
In addition to daily ACT and Resilience Toolkit groups, patients receive daily expressive therapy in the form of art, music or recreational therapy. Our patients also receive individual therapy and family or support person therapy focused on safety planning, conflict resolution and understanding how to support your loved one struggling with a mental health crisis.
Treatment planning on the adult unit is driven by the therapist but guided by a multidisciplinary treatment team including psychiatry, nursing, behavioral health technicians and when necessary inpatient educators, psychological staff, and expressive therapists. The treatment team meets regularly to identify progress that has been made, update the treatment plan accordingly, and oversee the discharge plan.
